            Bug ID: 13081
           Summary: host-e2fsprogs attempts to create udev rules.d on
                    build host if not exists
           Product: buildroot
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: Other
          Assignee: unassigned at buildroot.uclibc.org
          Reporter: christian at paral.in
                CC: buildroot at uclibc.org
  Target Milestone: ---

If the /usr/lib/udev path does not exist on the build host, the
"installdirs-udev" step of the "install-progs-recursive" step of host-e2fsprogs
host-install in Buildroot attempts to create it.

This is a leak out of the Buildroot host dir structure.

Log output:

making install in po
if test "e2fsprogs" = "gettext-tools"; then \

--- Comment #1 from Christian Stewart <christian@paral.in> ---
Seems like the /usr/lib/systemd/system path also leaks:

making install in scrub
        MKDIR_P /usr/lib/udev/rules.d
       iMKDIR_P /usr/lib/systemd/system
/bin/mkdir: cannot create directory '/usr/lib/systemd/system': Permission
denied

--- Comment #3 from Christian Stewart <christian@paral.in> ---
The attached patch disables e2fsprogs scrub utilities by removing them from the
Makefile.in. This fixes the build on systems where the paths it tries to mkdir
-p do not already exist. But, a better patch is probably needed for upstream.
